Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face?
Saaniya Naik : Struggles are a part of the journey. At the end it all matters how you rise above all the challenges. Being a single mom & a working woman, it’s difficult to survive in any industry. But when you have hardwork & dedication nothing is impossible! There is nothing as a Perfect Life, you just need to make your life worth living!

Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
Saaniya Naik : You don’t get anything easy! Taking risks, rather calculative risks will play a major role in your career. Don’t get into something which you don’t like or that doesn’t make you happy. The best thing is to do what you enjoy and love!
